Time to get off the computer
Today was a good day on writing. I got more than my 2500 word goal, got the big sex scene into Unrepentant Bastard, and moved onto working on another chapter. I’m hopeful that I’ll get some writing done this weekend. It’s a three day weekend so it might happen.
I do need to clean my office something awful though and the flower beds need major weeding so I may not get as much...

someone tasted a sample and decided they love it all.
Yup, that’s what I figure too. Doesn’t stop me from being delighted, of course. XD

heeee congrats!
XD Thank you! It’s such a cool feeling when someone buys a book but to have them buy them all like that is just… eeeee! 8D

Someone just bought every single story I’ve got on Smashwords!
*screams and flails some more*
…
You know, someday that’s going to get old hat, just something that’s ‘eh, good for you, dude’…
…but not yet!
8D
Thank you whoever you are! I hope you enjoy the stories!
*dances happily*

This day is going sooooooo slow!
*whine*
I get to leave work 45 minutes early today.
This obviously means that time must drag so that the day seems at least 10 times longer than normal. >:(
I’m serious, I swear that every minute is lasting at least 10 minutes.
*twitches*
Oh well, at least I’ve reached my word count goal for the day. Unrepentant Bastard is now 12,414 words.
I’m almost to where Jason...

Pretty good day today
I got 2498 words written. Those two words nag at me but I’m not going to open the file up and type two more words to make it 2500. *wry grin*
I’m reconsidering doing the Debts to Recover collection. If I’m right, Unrepentant Bastard is going to top 15K, maybe 20K (and it started at 5K). The other stories in the collection are going to need equal amounts of work. That means...

Date Night - Scott/Stiles/Allison
synphstories:
Stiles/Scott approaching Allison about potential threesome-type activities???? - me-ya-ri
Think of this as a sort of sequel to this story (at least until I write the actual polyamory negotiation stuff).

*screams with delight* OMG, Zina! This is the best! 8D *flails at you* I love it, love it, love it! Scott and Stiles asking Allison on a date without actually...

Argh! I must learn to write short!
My plans to do a quick, SHORT rewrite on some of the Debts to Recover ‘verse stories is failing.
So bad.
Seriously, I started with a 5000 word story and two days later I’m already approaching 10K. I’m not even 1/3 of the way through the rewrite.
*headdesk*
Looks like I may just put the individual stories out and then do the collection later this year.
…another change...

Official Publishing Schedule-YES. GOOD.
XD I shall endeavor to make it a reality then! I do have it on my whiteboard and in an Excel file but they… may not actually match yet. #^_^#
Thanks for the interest sweetie! *big hug*

Pretty good writing day today
I started work on redoing the second story for the Debts to Recover ‘verse collection I’m planning. It’s Unrepentant Bastard. I forgot how much fun that story is but wow, I am adding SO much stuff to it!
Seriously, I knew the world and everything when I wrote it but not much of the world building made it on the page. It’s getting there now so it’s good. Not sure how...

“Amazon Publishing will acquire all rights to your new stories, including global...
– Pretty sure all the awesome fandom folks I know are smart enough to have realized what a steaming turd the new Amazon thing really is, but just in case you have to get into an argument over it with someone (yes, these are things I legitimately prep for) here are some clear talking points.
Also, no...

afewnovelideas replied to your link: Amazon unveils Kindle Worlds publishing platform to help aspiring fan fiction writers sell their work
I definitely understand the skepticism. I want to hope for the best, but nothing should be rushed into blindly. Once Amazon officially opens this up for submissions, I’m going through their “terms and conditions” with a fine-toothed comb.
I’d like to...

…
Honestly, I have the heebie jeebies just looking at this. I can understand entirely wanting to be paid for your writing. I really can. Who doesn’t need more money?
But to give up your rights to your work for the life of the copyright? And then also to never get any further reimbursement if the show/author/series decides your cool new character or neat idea should be used? Even if...

*Smiles*
Well, today was a total loss as far as writing goes but I’m not too unhappy. I did get a cover ready for the Debts to Recover collection I plan on doing (though the one I posted has the wrong title on it—it should say Taste of Joy, not Be With Me).
I also went through my Debts to Recover ‘verse short stories. I have 7-8 short stories I can finish / rewrite to include in it....

robinless replied to your photo: Hmmmm…. I’m…. almost okay with this cover. The…
looks great! has that ”taking a peek but not quite seeing” thing, which I think works great for an erotica compilation :D
:D Thank you! That was pretty much what I was aiming for (Smashwords’ restrictions keep anything more racy off the cover) so I’m happy. Thanks for giving me feedback! *big...

your writing is not stupid and people who say so...
fuckyourwritinghabits:
This is only tangibly related to ‘what if my writing is bad’ in that people have different definitions of crap. For example, did you know there’s a constant debate about the quality of literary fiction versus genre fiction? And did you know those debates are always stupid? Because they are. They are always stupid. They are stupid because people always have different...

FYI: New version of Sound of Obedience is going up...
I was informed that there were some hyphens that shouldn’t have been in it, splitting words (like Mis-tress). That’s in the process of being fixed currently. If you bought the Amazon version of the story expect an update in the next 24 hours or so.
That’s…

Stock photos are expensive!
*pouts*
Jeez, it costs less to have someone do custom art for a cover than it does to buy stock photos. I swear, this whole cover art thing is going to drive me crazy before I get it figured out.
*pouts some more*
One cityscape = ~$95. One photo of a guy wearing a collar = ~$128. (on one particular site)
I swear, covers are the big thing holding me back. getting...
